In followup to my first post on "Tornado just destroyed our Woods"

Thank you all sincerely for taking time to give your ideas.

Yes, the one poster was right we have our lives and are exceptionally grateful. We feel for the famlies which cannot say that now. Makes us want to drop all and help them, but sometimes one can do the most by also staying in an area and helping those who wont get help from the organizations.

We are not seeing many buildings effected in the area to date.

There are very good ideas here, especially for not knowing some details.

As for details:

I believe that fence posts would need Cedar etc right? So that wouldnt be an option. Too bad for us.

The woods is a mixed hardwood woods, such as:

Hard Maple and Soft Maple

Oak

Red and White Oak

some Cherry

some Ash

some Beechnut

maybe a few Tulip Trees

NO PINE TREES AT ALL

These Woods are approximately 40 acres, perhaps 300 trees downed in this 40 acres, (just a starting guess).

Most trees lay northeast direction, some other directions.

The ground being quite wet, may have made the trees less stable against winds?

Having people cut Firewood and the liabilities give me concern. It may not be worth the risk of people coming in to cut, unless we did the cutting ourselves, which is not our situation.

I have recommendations to look into paper mills and wood pellet companies, as some here have also mentioned.

Seems that finding a company that does both of these products may be a plus?

I do not know their requirements on useful product etc.....

Question 1:

How many people here feel the need to get it sold promptly within a short time, ie a week I am wondering? I am not sure if that poster was referring to LUMBER companies for a one week speed or ALL companies??

(for example, IF it is sold to paper mills and wood pellet companies do we think the same need for speed may exist?)

Question 2:

If a product were worth higher value, could it be worth transporting to that location

Where is the local biomass to biodiesel company when we need it now??

Jet/Airline companies need this stuff badly today!

I know they can make the biofuel diesel product, but transporting from southern MI to that unknown biofuel production location may not be practical? Know of one in this area??

Thanks for your time and thoughts,

Farm Family
